Words of Comfort for Freshly Made Sketches #86

It has been awhile since I've tried a Freshly Made Sketch and I needed some inspiration to make another sympathy card so I decided to check out this week's sketch. The Close To My Heart products that I used are Chantilly paper, Slate CS, Twilight CS, and Words of Comfort greeting which was black embossed. (Here is my embossing tip--place stamp in Versamark ink, then place stamp in your chosen color of dye ink and then sprinkle Clear Embossing powder--any stray flecks of embossing powder are not visible on your card!) The center panel was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder called Birds and Swirls. First I used a paintbrush to paint in the grooves of the folder with Twilight Ink and then I ran the paper in the folder through the Cuttlebug machine. The thin black and white ribbon was in my stash for quite awhile and I have no idea who made it..

Here is the Freshly Made Sketch #86 that I followed:

About Me

Life is Good and it's getting better all the time! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! My life is filled with wonderful, rewarding things such as family--including new grandson, Antonio, friends and fun things to do such as golf, dance, rubber stamp art, scrapbooking and quilting. I've been hooked on rubber stamping since 1992 and became a Close To My Heart Consultant in 1996--16 years ago! Newly retired from education I have more time to "play" and create rubber stamped art and beautiful scrapbook layouts. I love sharing ideas, techniques and products and thus I'll be using this blogsite as another avenue to do this.
